Recruiting studies
- NCT05842109Recruiting
Testing a breath marker to guide care for newborn jaundice
This study looks at a breath-related measurement (from the air you exhale) to help diagnose and guide treatment for jaundice in certain newborns. It may help the care team better decide what care you need after birth, especially when jaundice is related to blood type mismatch.
HangzhouAges Up to 1 week - NCT07442669Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for surfactant decision in premature babies
This trial uses a lung ultrasound score, a type of ultrasound, to decide when to give surfactant (a medicine that helps lungs work) to premature babies born between 27 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to reduce the need for more breathing support and avoid side effects.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 6 months–8 months - NCT04975178RecruitingPhase 3
Test of a TB vaccine for newborns in sub-Saharan Africa
This Phase 3 study tests whether MTBVAC can safely protect newborn babies from tuberculosis and whether it helps the baby’s immune system learn to fight TB. If you enroll, the goal is to see safety and immune response in real newborn settings in sub-Saharan Africa.
Worcester, Western CapeAges 5 minutes–1 week - NCT06819150Recruiting
Bathing effects on babies getting light therapy for jaundice
This study looks at whether giving a bath to newborns receiving light therapy for jaundice helps with their comfort, skin health, and jaundice levels. If your baby is healthy except for jaundice and needs phototherapy, this study could show if bathing makes them feel better.
Kütahya, MerkezAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT07409194Enrolling by invitation
Acupressure for newborn jaundice
This study tests whether acupressure (a gentle touch therapy on specific points of the body) can help lower bilirubin levels in newborns with jaundice. It may provide a natural way to treat jaundice while your baby is in the hospital.
VanAges 9 months–3.5 years - NCT07392138Recruiting
At-home monitoring for newborn-mother bond
This study tests how well mothers and their newborns can be monitored at home using distance technology. It aims to understand bonding and development without needing to visit the hospital.
TurkuAges birth+ - NCT07393620Recruiting
Predicting brain outcomes in newborns with mild oxygen loss
This study uses brain monitoring and oxygen measurements in newborns who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth to see if these tests can predict how the baby will develop. The goal is to find early signs that might help guide care.
BursaAges birth–6 hours - NCT05703191Recruiting
Tests an inhaled nitric oxide system for newborn lung pressure
This study looks at whether an inhaled nitric oxide generator and delivery system can help newborns with high lung blood pressure (pulmonary hypertension). It may help improve oxygen levels during breathing support, but it requires specific medical eligibility and informed consent.
Guangzhou, GuangzhouAges Any age - NCT06803069Recruiting
Why newborns lose heat and how to prevent it
This study looks at why some babies, especially premature ones, have trouble keeping warm (hypothermia). It has two parts: one for babies in the neonatal ICU and one for infants under 2 having surgery. The goal is to find better ways to keep them safe and warm.
Pécs, BaranyaAges Up to 2 years - NCT04905537Recruiting
Genetic screening for newborns after a serious pregnancy loss
This trial looks at doing early genetic testing in newborns/early life cases after a serious pregnancy loss, to learn whether genetics can help understand why it happened. If you have the right timing and sample availability, the results may help future “more precise” care planning and research.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Up to 3 months - NCT06758492Recruiting
Video vs direct laryngoscopy for surfactant in newborns
This study compares two ways of placing a thin tube into a newborn's windpipe to give surfactant—a medicine that helps their lungs work better. It will help doctors understand which method is safer and easier for babies needing this treatment.
RijekaAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07365254Recruiting
Newborn whole genome sequencing for genetic disease risk
This study looks at using whole genome sequencing in newborns and families with ongoing pregnancies, including those conceived naturally or with fertility treatments. It aims to better understand and manage genetic disease risks early.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges Any age - NCT07347743Recruiting
Probiotic supplement for crying and colic in healthy newborns
This trial tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can reduce excessive crying and colic in healthy, full-term newborns. If your baby is healthy and born at UZ Brussel, this study may help find a gentle way to soothe colic.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 1 day–2 weeks - NCT06862895Recruiting
Chest therapy for babies with bronchiolitis
This trial tests whether gentle chest physiotherapy can help babies with bronchiolitis (a lung infection) recover better. It looks at how the therapy affects their breathing and overall health.
Erbil, KurdistanAges 1 month–1 year - NCT07333599Recruiting
Study of low oxygen in full-term newborns
This study looks at full-term babies born with very low cord blood pH (a sign of oxygen shortage). It aims to understand different patterns of low oxygen and how they affect newborns. Doctors hope this can improve care for babies with similar issues.
StrasbourgAges birth–1 day - NCT07333378Recruiting
Keeping vernix on newborns to prevent eczema
This study tests whether leaving the white, waxy coating (vernix caseosa) on a newborn’s skin after birth can help prevent the development of eczema (atopic dermatitis) in early childhood. It compares standard bathing practices with preserving this natural skin barrier.
Las Condes, RMAges birth+ - NCT06719284Recruiting
Improving breathing support in newborns on special ventilators
This trial is studying how to use a special breathing machine (high frequency oscillatory ventilation) in newborns. The goal is to improve the settings for better breathing support.
LondonAges 5 months–1 year - NCT07322133RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two blood pressure medicines for newborns with lung hypertension
This trial compares two medicines (dopamine and norepinephrine) to see which works better for raising blood pressure in newborns who have both low blood pressure and high blood pressure in the lungs. Both medicines are given through a vein to help stabilize your baby's blood pressure.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT06186973Recruiting
Fetal and newborn heart assessment during labor
This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
OsloAges birth–1 hour - NCT00801372Recruiting
Using existing cells to make stem cells in adults
This study looks at using your existing skin or tissue cells to create special lab-grown stem cells. It may help researchers explore new ways to generate cells for future treatments.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18 years+ - NCT07286565Recruiting
Remote motor development study for early-diagnosed DMD or SMA
This study remotely tracks motor development in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or spinal muscular atrophy who were diagnosed at birth or before symptoms started. It aims to see if early monitoring helps improve long-term care and outcomes.
LiègeAges 4 months+ - NCT07261254Recruiting
Baby Bonus: Support for families with newborns
This study tests if providing monthly payments and support to new parents can improve the health and well-being of their babies. If you live in San Mateo County and your baby is healthy and on Medicaid, you might be able to join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges birth+ - NCT07264166Enrolling by invitation
